The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL seeking mandatory six airbags in passenger vehicles, calling it a policy matter. The petitioner was told to approach the government instead.
The Supreme Court ruled that vehicles sold before April 1, 2019, must also display colour-coded stickers. This decision aims to improve the identification of older vehicles based on their emission levels. The directive is part of efforts to curb pollution and ensure better compliance with environmental standards. The move is expected to help authorities monitor vehicle emissions more effectively.
The Supreme Court is deliberating on mandating colour-coded stickers for vehicles to improve air quality monitoring and compliance. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S. Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan questioned the implementation of stringent GRAP-4 (Graded Response Action Plan) measures amid worsening AQI levels in Delhi. The court is examining how such measures can curb pollution effectively. Rising air pollution remains a critical concern for the capital city.
Today, On 27th August, The Supreme Court directed the Central Government to set up teams to inspect and remove encroachments on national highways, aiming to maintain traffic flow. The court instructed the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to form inspection teams and develop a portal for public reporting of encroachments. The matter will be revisited on October 14.
